Years of decent Emby performance has stopped

[alanemm 0]

I have a Synology DS220j with Emby on it. It has worked okay for years but suddenly does not work at all. Nothing but timeout, timeout, timeout. I typically go through the Emby app on Roku. I have had numerous timeouts and instances of Emby just hanging at 33% while loading in the past but now it seems to be all it does. Tonight I turned on the Roku, went to the app, tried to play a file, got Timeout. Tried to play a different file (save content but different format), got timeout. Tried this a few more times, alternating between files, timeout. I'm attaching my log here, please help.

LG had an update that came out in Dec 2025.  Perhaps the TV autoupdated and the IP has to be set again.  Just a wild guess.

Hello and thank you! I'll look into that TV update, but I'm trying to access Emby on a Samsung TV. Maybe THAT'S the problem

Hi.  What is your network environment?  I assume you are using wireless from the Roku.  Has anything changed with the network recently?  How is the signal strength to the Roku?
